Usually, I’m not very fond of pictures of nature, except maybe to use as my computer’s wallpaper. It feels as if too much of producing them depends on chance, and really in the end, what are they saying?
Nature is beautiful? We already know that. But once in a while it seems I have to contradict myself. An artist will come along and approach nature from a new angle, creating intrigue from subjects we’ve all seen thousands of times.
Snakes in a box. What a pity trapping such a sensuously sinuous subject in such a mundane container, and how beautiful the result. Luxuriously smooth patterns and intensely muscular bodies writhing around each other. Have you every held a snake? It’s very sexual. Strength and fluidity, gracefully gliding along, the slightest movement causes a muscular reaction along its entire length, like a lover wrapping around you. You might call me a sick horny bastard, but these pictures speak to me of incestuous sexual tension. Something about writhing bodies in a box, and them all being of the same family of snakes (and NO I’m not stupid). You might also say that these are just glorified computer wallpapers, and I can’t really argue with that, but at least they’re cool.
P.S.
Dear Sir Alexander McQueen,
We love you and miss you.
